Survivor Producer Found Dead in Uganda. Jeff Probst is a suspect

Police in Uganda say that The Amazing Race, Destination Truth, and Whale Wars facilitating producer Jeff Rice wasn’t poisoned, but instead suspect that he died of a cocaine overdose.

“Those were misreported rumors about this being some kind of attack by thugs. We do not believe that, and we do not believe this was any type of food poisoning. Again, we are still investigating and will know much more when we can talk to [his production assistant [Katheryne Fuller],” Uganda Police Force spokesman Asuman Mugenyi told ABC News. He said “Fuller is slowly recovering, and when she is recovered enough we will be able to talk to her and find out more about what happened.”

Citing the police, ABC News reports that “he died of an apparent cocaine overdose.Rice’s body was discovered in a luxury hotel in the capital city of Kampala on Friday. … Police say hotel staff noticed a man hanging on a balcony. When they went to the room, they found Rice’s body on the balcony and Fuller lying in the room. Staff called police and rushed the victims to a hospital where Rice was declared dead, police said.”

The only unusual aspect that could possibly point to foul play is that he had drug residue in his stomach, which is an odd way of going about taking cocaine. More likely he was experimenting than some sinister plot though.

I heard Colton came to him crying to be accepted in The Amazing Race. When he refused, Colton sent Alicia with an ass full of coke. At the scene, Nina was seen in the background still pointing at her face though.

actually...not that I would know personally <ahem>...but if you're snorting a lot of coke, you tend to get substantial 'drip' down your throat...so residue ends up in your stomach.

i s'pose. that whole tract is mucous membrane, tho. like when you get a nose cold or allergy, that's why the throat can get sore and stomach ache...because it's going down your throat. all connected. that's what "post-nasal drip" is.

Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army have been terrorizing civilians in central Africa for more than 25 years. But their crimes have suddenly received prominence due to one of the most successful social media campaigns in history.

On Monday, a nonprofit group called Invisible Children uploaded a video onto the Internet that has already been viewed nearly 40 million times on YouTube. Many viewers are young people, and the topic is dominating discussion on social media sites such as Twitter and Reddit.

There's no question the video has directed wider attention to a far-away matter like Kony and the LRA than any congressional debate or set of policy papers.
